Thoughtful Insights. Humorous Observations.

Happy Anniversary

I‘ve been writing a blog for nearly ten years. October 2004 was the first post of Austin’s Acre. Three years ago today I switched from Blogger to Word Press and in that short amount of time I’ve received over 28,000 hits on my site. Sure, some of the traffic is nothing more than well-developed spam. Other visitors were nothing more lost web browsers looking for the Scottish cartoon character from Bugs Bunny. But most were people who were interested in the short stories and little insights that I write.

Over the past three years I’ve written humorous observations and posted beautiful photography. I’ve commented on society, reviewed books, movies, and restaurants. I’ve even documented some travel from time to time. I’ve laughed at myself and others and along the way I’ve looked for the good in most and attempted to reflect God’s love to all.

You may be one of the faithful followers of the Acre or you might have just wandered in looking for instructions on how to cook the perfect roasted chicken. Either way, you are more than welcome. Poke around. Look for something interesting. Make a comment. The next ten years promise to be just as rich (and diverse) as the first ten.
